Reportage Workshop

Hi bloggers! Today I'm going to talk about my favorite subject of my fourth semester in journalism. This subject is Reportage Workshop and my teacher is the great journalist Tania Tamayo.

Reportage Workshop is my favorite subject because I have learned more about the journalistic work making extensive reports and important interviews. My first report was about the new migration law in Chile, theme that has acquired more relevance in the last time.

At this moment I am working on a new reportage about the women's soccer team Audax Italiano, where my cousin is the coach. This theme is important because two of the players of the team are leaders at the same time. This happens because the institution Audax Italiano stopped financing the team in January of this year.

I want to mention the person behind this learning: my teacher Tania Tamayo. She has published important investigative journalism books such as "Caso Bombas" and "Incendio en la Torre 5". Tamayo is one of the best teachers I have had in my life and I am very grateful to her.

Juan Cristóbal Guarello, a journalist that I admire

Juan Cristóbal Guarello is a Chilean sports journalist and writer, National Prize for Sports Journalism 2011 and someone recognized among his colleagues and the general public for his exhaustive dedication to what he does and his commitment to the truth.

Guarello is currently the director of the sports magazine El Gráfico, sports commentator on Canal 13 and ADN Radio Chile, as well as a columnist for Diario As Chile. The journalist has a section in the central news of Canal 13 called "Digan la verdad", where he looks like an opinion leader, reporting and denouncing irregularities, such as the scandal of Sergio Jadue's departure from the presidency of the National Association Of Professional Football.

In co-authoring with Luis Urrutia, Juan Cristóbal has published several soccer books, such as "Anecdotario del fútbol chileno", "Historias secretas del fútbol chileno" e "Historia de la clasificación a Sudáfrica 2010". He also incurred in the fiction with the publication of the novel "Gente mala" in the year 2014.

I admire this journalist for his dedication in his journalistic work, and above all, for his great knowledge in football, where I consider him an eminence. Being recognized follower of Colo Colo, Guarello has no problem in criticizing hard to the white team when he considers it convenient. Not everyone likes Guarello because of his complicated personality, but almost everyone recognizes him as an excellent professional.

The Soundtrack of my life

Relating music to different stages of my life generates a strange mixture of rock, metal and grunge on the one hand, popular trova and romantic music on the other hand, and when it comes to dancing, cumbia is the number one.

My adolescence had a brief taste for reggaeton and cumbia, leaving aside the first, but never the second. Over time, it was the rock of Soda Stereo or Guns N'Roses, the metal of System of a Down or Korn, and, above all, the grunge of Nirvana and Pearl Jam the music that captivated me.

Associated with my political tendency, there was always a space in my heart for the great Silvio Rodriguez, as well as for one of my favorite bands, Ska-p. Here, it is fair to mention the best Chilean band of all time, Los Prisioneros.

The loves and dislikes of my life have brought with them the taste for bands like Bon Jovi or Coldplay, Sin Bandera or Mana.

With a special mention for the national funk of Chancho en Piedra and Los Tetas, I want to close this post with the cumbia bands that always close the events where they play, I mean the magic trident Chico Trujillo, Villa Cariño and Santa Feria.
